Summary
Dynamic navigation (DN) enhances coronectomy safety for impacted lower third molars. This 5-year follow-up shows a DN-assisted procedure resulted in a patient free of complications and symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Implantology
- Surgical Navigation
Background:
- Coronectomy is a conservative approach for impacted mandibular third molars, especially when risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury is high.
- Precise surgical execution is critical, particularly with limited access, to prevent complications.
- Dynamic navigation (DN) systems offer potential for improved accuracy and safety in such procedures.
